    Now, where does the lights on switch come? The no light, park lamp, headlight toggle switch...
    Diagram is correct to the switching mode

    U need to put the main lights on switch between the ign switch and the H/L relay switch. Instead, I would suggest u to give the ign/batt switch out to the stock RR lighting output wire, so that the entire lighting supply line will become full DC and everything will work as stock. Get a H4 male adaptor to the stock bulb socket to get the H/L relay trigger wires which is more easier to complete the circuit.

    If u follow this way, don't've to smoke ur head anymore for identifying each and every wire on the loom, not a single wire will be spared for wrong connection and u'll've less tappings too.

      yes the HID circuit has a relay. But I dont always use the HID. Also, since the routing of the lights from battery was not proper, I though its better to have it straightened out.

      You answered my next question. Thank you.
      Anyway I'll surely have to smoke my head when I implement these theory into practical on bike...

      • @lijok , @sajjt ,@drvtm

        thanks for ur pics on the connections .

        in this picture https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...eat=directlink

        u cut 2 wires on the red connector and taped them to the ape rr grey wires directly right ?? and then the black +yellow wire from ape rr to battery ?? also in stock wiring there are 2 connectors that connect stock rr unit to the wiring harness . what will happen to those 2 connectors ?? also what about the black wire (ground ?) bolted on rr unit in the pic ? where to fix that after ape rr +rewind .

        • @ Jeanie.

          In stock, the rr unit has 2 connections just like you mentioned.
          Basically these 2 are complicated as it goes to the headlamp as well as the TCI unit through very complex wiring.
          You'll have to remove your stock RR unit and keep these connections unplugged.
          Another thing is, that there will be a orange wire with red single pin connector in your TCI unit, confirm weather this has direct current from the battery keeping the stock rr connector unplugged, if not the you'll have to route this connector to the battery positive terminal.

          Rest of the things are simple, get the switches re-done from a mech to provide full DC everywhere.

          • yes i found a single pin red connector with orange wire going from tci to the stock wiring harness . how to find out if it has direct connection to battery as it goes inside the stock harness ?? i think it might be already having direct connection

            • hey guys ..
              changing the coil & RR unit to the ABS's ones solves the problem ???

                Sorry for the late update, the diagram is not correct, one of the fellow member had pointed the mistake just now which I didn't noticed till now. Its the NC pole to the low beam will be on always irrespective of the switch key/main light switch is on/off as its directly connected to battery. Better u follow the first diagram which is having 2 SPST relays.

                  +1 will it? Maybe along with the wiring harness too?

                  Thank you... anyway I'll wait a while before going back to DC.
                  BTW, putting the off-park-lights switch on the wire from battery to Common terminal of the SPDT relay will solve this no?

                    It is confirmed that changing the coil & RR unit of ABS can make the RTR full DC, lil wiring tweaks are needed, but the power remains bottleneck, i,e 35W ..

                    • finally did my rtr to full dc , i have left the stock wiring harness's black ground wire taped up and not bolted to the rr . or should i bolt it to ape rr ?

                      did not have multimeter to check readings etc. but i did ride for 20 mins and everthing seems ok

                      rtr guys with hids , where do u fix the ballast ?

                          did you confirm it mate i am waiting for your reply.

                          • Converted my RTR 160 FI in full DC after rewinding the coil with 19 SWG wire and also installed new ape rr. The o/p ampere shown by RR ( yellow of RR and -ve of battery for measuring ampere) is around 3.5 to 4amps. Although the voltage measurement across battery varies from 13V to 15V.
                            But the problem arises after the conversion, rr unit installed gets too hot after running the bike for few kms and also malfunction light ( fuel pump light) light up after starting the bike and indicating an problem with FI system.
                            Experts plz shed some light on this.
